My beautiful Silky Gingered Zucchini Soup, not only on the floor but splashed under the laces of my sneakers. It was a container catastrophe.

But that doesn’t happen anymore because now I have these totally badass Lunchbots — and if you’re lucky (or smart… or both), so can you!

Why I’m Dumb & Lunchbots Are Smart

Until not too long ago, I didn’t give much thought to the containers into which I put my food. In hindsight, this was quite silly. There I was, buying grassed, pastured beef and expensive, high-quality eggs and organic kale which I cooked in coconut oil (never extra-virgin olive oil at high heat!), only to put it, willy-nilly, into cheap plastic containers. In my defense, my ratio of ‘knock containers out of the refrigerator and onto the floor’ to ‘successfully retrieve without incident’ was about 1:1. But ignoring the issues around BPA was probably not the wisest idea.

So I started paying attention, and I bought some BPA-free containers at IKEA. There were lots of ‘em. And they were cheap. And they had cheerful green lids… that inconsiderately popped off at the first meeting of plastic container to tiled kitchen floor. (See Exhibit A above.)

To Enter:1. Like Lunchbots on Facebook2. Follow me on Twitter (or let me know you already do)
3. Post to comments ONE TIME to let me know you did #1 and #2.

Deadline to enter: 11:59 p.m. Central on Sunday, December 9, 2012. I’ll randomly select a winner and announce the winner on Monday, December 10.

Restrictions: The drawing is open only to U.S. residents. I’m sorry, international friends! We’ll make it up to you somehow.

Why leave your fate to luck? Get yourself some Lunchbots now! There are all kinds of options: insulated rounds, mini rounds, and adorable bento-type boxes with one, two, three, and four compartments. (For inspiration, take a gander at the Lunchbots Gallery. Redonk cuteness!)

I really like the idea of these, but I still depend on a microwave for my lunches. I don’t believe that microwaving my food is bad for me, so I’m bummed that it’s hard to find microwave-safe, good quality, BPA-free sealable containers.

I just liked Lunchbots on FB (my name is Diana Duvall there) and I just signed up for Twitter as Diana Annastazija and now following you there! Thanks for the giveaway. I hope I get it, I really hope I get it!

Hi I already follow you on FB so I added the little blue bird site as well. Love your cookbook and can’t wait for #2!
My son’s lunch box tore and I need to get him a new way to take His lunch to school. I think I’ll you those.
Awesome site!

I’m a new follower and have bought your book and LOVE IT, but, alas, have not yet gotten started, although I’m not new to Paleo. With that said, I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my LunchBots. I don’t have any of the snap on lids, and therefore don’t yet take liquids, but have a full line of the containers with the brightly-colored metal lids. I have a large and small single, large and small double compartments, and one with 3 compartments and one with 4 (as well as the set of 3 dippers and one thermos). I work part time and try to take healthy food to work, and now it is so much FUN to pack my LunchBots. Thanks for your site, Mel!

Just liked Lunchbots and I’m following you on twitter. Would love to win these as we are starting our first Whole30 on Jan. 1 and doing it with my husband’s parents and maybe a few more that we recruit along the way.

I already liked you and Lunchbots on FB (and I gave Well Fed to 2 people for Christmas!). But I deleted my Twitter accounts a loooonng time ago. These would be perfect to haul all my paleo goodies to me while I study for the bar exam! I am a very poor law students and have not gotten any LunchBots bc they cost is prohibitive. Thanks for doing the contest!!

I liked Lunchbots on Facebook – but I don’t have a twitter account so can’t follow. I did, however, just finish reading your book and I am gearing up for a Sunday cooking session so I can make hot plates next week!

I have completed both steps 1 and 2! (And, excited to be introduced to your products!! I go through storage quickly because so many are poorly made: lids, material, stains, melting, stackability; shapes preventing lunch box fits, etc…)
